Questions

  • Why is the phase of the moon the same worldwide?
  • How can a new moon happen on flat earth? What's blocking us from seeing it?

Talking to the moon

You can bounce your voice off the moon with basic radio stuff. This isn't possible unless the moon is a physical object.

Looks like a Sphere

In addition to moon phases and other evidence, the shape of craters on the outer edges of the visible moon are ellipsoid and the ones towards the center are circular. It's logical to assume craters are generally pretty round. Therefore it certainly looks like a sphere.

Visible Orientation

Moon is one way in northern hemisphere, upside down in southern, and sideways at equator

Same face all the time, meaning it turns (orbit) from the pov of the viewer.

Brass in moon rocks

Today's sessions were marked by a number of controversial reports including one by a group from Cambridge Univer sity in England that several bits of brass had been found in sam ples of lunar dust and rocks. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, does not normally occur on earth except where made by man.

One skeptic in the audience rioted that brass had been found in another sample of moon dust, but he pointed out that brass hinges on the boxes in which the samples were brought back to earth had been worn. Dr. Peter Gay of Cam bridge was undaunted by this, noting that one brass fragment in the sample studied there was imbedded in a lunar rock.

Air Bubbles in space and underwater claims

"air bubbles" seen in space walks are ice crystals.

Video of them ripping apart soyuz is high res and convincing for zero gravity

Face size inside space suit helmets looks half size underwater, and in space they look bigger.

"Moon changes size sometimes"

Moon looks bigger close to the horizon because of perspective illusion in your brain. Similar to the train track picture with two white lines of the same size

Chandrayaan-3

The initial landing video they celebrated is obviously an animation, which deserves to be mocked. The later videos and photos from the lander and rover look pretty real.

About

I'm just a guy who was told about flat earth, looked into it, and decided after a lot of thought that it's a ball. This site is a catalog of all the topics I looked into.
